I keep my bike in my garage. On the coldest of days, if I forget to close the garage door, the temperature in the garage can get down as low as 20F or so. Is there anything I need to do to keep it from getting freezer-burn? Should I ignore my wife's reaction and bring it to the basement?

I leave a couple out in an unheated shed for the whole winter. -30F and no problems.

Make sure you change the antifreeze regularly and check the wiper fluid

Can't you put some kind of a space heater in the garage? How would you like staying in a sub-freezing garage? I hope no one calls Bicycle Protective Services on you.

There is nothing going to happen to the bikes although, I do bring one inside for the rollers and ride one in the garage on a fluid trainer. The trainer gets a little sluggish but hasn't come apart or leaked in 3 winters.

I don't care what anyone says... -30F is freaking cold!!!!

A nbr. of years ago i didnt have a garage and had to park my motorcycles outside in our usual -30--40 below.i did this for 3 years actually.I went to the Goodwill(Sally Ann or what have you)And bought quilts at $6 bucks each and wrapped bike in that.Also then covered it all with a tarp to keep quilts dry(wont need in garage).It keeps everything from frost which rusts stuff.Warm and toasty.
Every spring when i uncovered it, it still looked clean and sparkling just as it did when i put it away.Just a thought!It works!I would cover my bikes or bicycles in garage that way even now if i didnt have heated place.Mine stay indoors with me now.

Get a heated saddle and bars for when you want to ride after a nights rest for the bikes in the garage.

That's why I'm in the warm house instead of the shed!

its a bicycle, not a child. so what if it gets a bit cold. I keep my bike outside year round with out problems.

If you bring it the cold into the warm you get condensation. better to keep it cold.
If you are storing the bike over winter, then you may want to bring the tyres into the warm but the rest is metal and can cope with the cold.

It'll be just fine. I keep my bikes in the garage, and have for years. It usually get's to around -30c at least several nights a year, and my bikes have suffered no ill effects.

Cold doesn't hurt bikes. What kills them is freeze/thaw cycles when there's water present.

ummmmmmmmmm.............a quilt or other insulation won't keep anything warm outdoors more than briefly. A tarp would indeed keep things dry.

It'll be fine. Just don't lick it.

make sure you change the air in the tires to winter ar and put ethanol in the water bottles and everything should be okay.

Insulation keeps frost off ,i was leaving it outside.Frost still crept in outside and would rust all the bolts etc.without quilts.

Wrap it with a space blanket. It should help it to retain it's heat.

It's a freaking bicycle.
